Can You Take Antrodia Camphorata and Ginkgo Biloba Together?

Dose or timing may matter

The short answer

Antrodia camphorata has antiplatelet and anticoagulant properties from its triterpenoid compounds. Ginkgo biloba also has significant antiplatelet effects. Together they may substantially increase bleeding risk.

How to arrange timing

Avoid combining Antrodia camphorata with Ginkgo biloba, especially before surgery or if taking blood-thinning medications.

Important context

Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
